'I packed everything in two or three days and came over. Full of hope I could rebuild everything here. The reality is devastating.' Hong Kongers warn of 'social conflict' as new arrivals to UK struggle to find jobs and housing
He says:"A lot of local people feel the same. After the pandemic they got back to the high street and they kind of feel 'hey it's different' because there are a lot of new faces, especially Chinese and Hong Konger faces."
Mr Wong says:"Some of our friends and relatives have also come to the UK - especially Sutton and especially those with kids." She told us:"The demand is very high and the available flats or houses is pretty limited so I started to recognise Sutton is not easy to find an available place to live in. But luckily, praise God I found some Hong Kong people are helping."
Eric Wong came nine months ago and had never been to the UK before. He left behind a successful business selling tea leaves but brought with him his entrepreneurial spirit. With his money having run out Enoch says he's now homeless - staying on people's floors and sofas - and reliant on food banks and hand-outs.
Now Enoch says he feels betrayed by the British government because he says he can't afford to apply for the visa or the healthcare costs associated with it. "But I am personally concerned there are some people who need to come out of Hong Kong who don't qualify for the BNO route and I want to make sure we are equally hospitable to those people - that that's based on need rather than geniality or financial status.
